College football notes: Duke's Kelby Brown out for season

Duke LB Kelby Brown will miss the season after suffering a knee injury during a scrimmage.

In a release Tuesday, the school said the all-Atlantic Coast Conference performer tore his left ACL during Monday’s scrimmage. The fifth-year senior is scheduled to have surgery today.

The injury is costly for the Blue Devils, who made a surprise run to the Coastal Division championship and reached the ACC title game. Brown was a first team all-ACC pick and one of the league’s top tacklers with 114.

Brown had a career-high 17 tackles against Georgia Tech last September, then matched that against Miami in November.

Scary injury for UCLA

UCLA receiver Devin Lucien left practice in an ambulance after injuring his head.

Bruins coach Jim Mora visibly was concerned about Lucien after practice at training camp in San Bernardino, Calif.

Lucien is an athletic junior known for acrobatic catches in practices and games. Mora believes Lucien was injured when he hit his head on the ground while making a catch.

Mora didn’t immediately know the extent of Lucien’s injury.

The coach said UCLA prefers to be "overly cautious" with any injury involving the head or neck.

Oklahoma has taken steps to suspend Shannon for a year, but the school has been unable to enforce the decision. In a news release Monday, Oklahoma president David L. Boren said the school’s internal disciplinary process has voted to remove Shannon for a violation of its Title IX policy, which covers sexual misconduct.

Evans started one game last year while Shannon was injured, against Texas Tech, and the ILB had a career-high eight tackles and a pass breakup. Sooners coach Bob Stoops said Evans had a good spring and summer.
